After a three-year creative process, heavy rock band, Wucan, have crafted Axioms, a new album that showcases the band’s characteristic artistic ingenuity while continuing the transformation first hinted at on the latest album Heretic Tongues — and pushing those ideas even further.
Axioms, the fourth studio album by the band from Dresden, Germany, will be released on August 29 via Long Branch Records and is now available for pre-order.
As is well known, true art is characterized above all by its constant renewal — a combination of the tried and tested with the innovative. Like nearly all influential acts in music history who have followed this golden rule, Wucan demonstrate their capacity for artistic evolution with Axioms.
On Axioms, the four-piece, led by frontwoman Francis Tobolsky, blends the distinctive elements of their previous studio records — Sow The Wind (2015), Reap The Storm (2017), and Heretic Tongues (2022) — with fresh ideas, resulting in a broader stylistic range and a more clearly defined conceptual approach. In other words: While the band continues to reference hard rock, krautrock, East German rock, and metal, these eight new tracks are also infused with touches of progressive rock, isolated electronic elements, and a playful jazz attitude.
Or as Tobolsky aptly puts it, “The foundation of our music is international ’70s hard rock enriched by contemporary influences — this time with even more bombast, brutality, and complexity.”
The previously released singles “KTNSAX” and “Irons In The Fire” offer a first taste of the new album. Watch the music videos below.

Frontwoman Francis Tobolsky adds: “The title Axioms stands for the fundamental convictions our band is built upon convictions we no longer question. After 10 years of making music together — seven of them with this lineup — there were moments when everything could have fallen apart. This album was created during a time when each of our lives was changing significantly, and it bears the imprint of those personal experiences. The fact that we’re still making music together is neither a coincidence nor a matter of convenience – it’s our axiom.”
